Even granting this (and I don't really), he took the job in the first place. He didn't need to. If he doesn't feel any remorse about deciding to help a murderer avoid prison–and going above and beyond the defense most people receive as well–he's an ogre. 'I was just doing my job' is something destructive people say to…

Different yet still two completely arbitrary things where people can insist their own standards are universal.

He was just following orders, one might say

I thought it actually sounded like Gooding Jr.

I'd guess for Scheck the Innocence Project became a penance for helping acquit OJ.

Wait, we're supposed to be broken up about Scalia? Fuck that guy.

Even though it ended with a metaphor, this is the first HBO drama pilot I'm really excited about since Luck. Among other things, major points for mentioning Suicide, who started out around 72/3.

In SNL's defense, there weren't a lot of black people on Friends

But…but…Steve Carell doing DRAMA! With a prosthetic nose! How can it fail to be prestigious?

I think Almost Famous holds up because it's willing to both romanticize rock and challenge that romanticism. This looks like pure treacle. Crowne should be forced to spend some time on the road with a new-ish band before he writes about music again.

How quickly we've forgotten 'Smack My Bitch Up'

Vinyl debuts this weekend. You involved in that?

This is what happens when you try to make franchises instead of films.

That's not fair. It's the defining aspect of political discourse on the internet.
